Re: Exemption Request from Fidelity Bonding Requirements
Dear Mr. Floria:
Rule 11210(a)(3) does not prohibit a firm from effecting the requirements of the provision electronically, but the firm is responsible for the accuracy and proper functioning of the computer program.
An individual who processes transactions by communicating orders to the member’s clearing firm, which then calls or electronically communicates with the contra-side of the transaction, is not involved in the execution of transactions for purposes of Rule 1032(f) and thus is not required to be Series 55 registered.
Relief granted to banks to facilitate an orderly and efficient transition of employees from a bank into a broker/dealer to comply with the Financial Modernization Act of 1999.
Application of Rule 2320(g) and Rule 3110(b) to quotations displayed in the Electronic Quotation Service (prior to the adoption of proposed Rule 6630).
